Bachmann: Hillary can’t ride wave of white ‘guilt’ into office like Obama did

Former presidential hopeful Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said in an interview with TriCities.com columnist Cal Thomas that the United States won’t elect former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton president in 2016 because the country “isn’t ready for a woman president.”

According to Bachmann, the tide of white “guilt” that President Barack Obama rode into office will not be matched by a similar feelings for the former First Lady.

Bachmann announced in 2013 that she is retiring from Congress after her current term, but she did not hesitate to offer Republicans advice about how to defeat Clinton, should she decide to run. The GOP, she said, needs to keep hammering away at the 2012 attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Clinton, Bachmann said, was aware of “deteriorating conditions” on the ground in Benghazi, but chose to do nothing.
